No. Rattlesnakes consume their prey whole, and any human would be too large to swallow. They are actually quite shy creatures and try to avoid humans as much as possible.

It's far more scared of you than you are of it. On the other hand, rattlesnake meat is a delicacy served mostly in the southern, particularly southwestern, part of the United States. So while rattlesnakes don't eat humans, humans have been known to eat rattlesnakes.
